[Libav-user] libvorbis encoder problem

[Tomaž Rotovnik]

Hi

I checked doc/examples/muxingc.c file where an example generating MPEG AV file is explained. Then I try to change AV format to "webm" (video is encoded with VP8 and audio with vorbis encoder). I have problems with setting the right parameters for vorbis encoder. When I debugging through the code I figured out that vorbis only accepts (AV_SAMPLE_FMT_FLTP) sample format type. Example was done with (AV_SAMPLE_FMT_S16). I looked into source code to figure out that when I call 

avcodec_fill_audio_frame(AVFrame, channels, sample_format, buffer, buf_size, align), 

in case of AV_SAMPLE_FMT_FLTP the buffer should be type float* and audio samples should have values between -1.0 to 1.0. For more than one channel values are not interleaved (FLTP - float plain) but they are followed by each other (array: all values for channel0, all values for channel 1, ...).

When I accept those changes in my code, unfortunately I still don't get correct result. If I use mono (1 channel only) then the flag (got_packet) returned from function avcodec_encode_audio2 is set only once (after around 5 consecutive calls), with AVPacket->pts timestamp set to some huge values. Because of that only video is encoded.
When I set stereo mode I get error from function av_interleaved_write_frame (-12).

I tested the same code and setting AV format to "asf", where audio is encoded with WMA2 encoder and also accepts AV_SAMPLE_FMT_FLTP sample format type. I got correct AV file which can be played with VLC player or Windows media player.

I think I still need to set some flags for vorbis encoder, but I can't figure out. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Best regards

For audio encoder I set those parameters:

c->sample_fmt = AV_SAMPLE_FMT_FLTP;
c->sample_rate = 44100; 
c->channels = 1; 

My code to prepare samples in AV_SAMPLE_FMT_FLTP sample format:

void TT_Transcode::get_audio_frame_fltp(float *fsamples, int frame_size, int nb_channels)
{
    int j, i;
    float v;
    float *q;
    for (j = 0; j < frame_size; j++) {
        v = (sin(t) * 10000.0) / 32767.0f; //values between -1.0 and +1.0
        fsamples[ j ] = v;
        for (i = 1; i < nb_channels; i++)
        {
            fsamples[i * in_linesize + j] = v;
        } 
        t += tincr;
        tincr += tincr2;
    }
}
